Its central Mg2+ is liganded to a water molecule that is H-bonded to D1/T179. Here, two site-directed mutants, D1/T179H and D1/T179V, were made in the thermophilic cyanobacterium, Thermosynechococcus elongatus, and characterized by a range of biophysical techniques. The Mn4CaO5 cluster in the water-splitting site is fully active in both mutants. Changes in thermoluminescence indicate that i) radiative recombination occurs via the repopulation of *Chl(D1) itself; ii) non-radiative charge recombination reactions appeared to be faster in the T179H-PSII; and iii) the properties of PD1PD2 were unaffected by this mutation, and consequently iv) the immediate precursor state of the radiative excited state is the Chl(D1)(+)Pheo(D1)(-) radical pair. Chlorophyll bleaching due to high intensity illumination correlated with the amount of O-1(2) generated. Comparison of the bleaching spectra with the electrochromic shifts attributed to Chl(D1) upon Q(A)(-) formation, indicates that in the T179H-PSII and in the WT*3-PSII, the Chl(D1) itself is the chlorophyll that is first damaged by O-1(2), whereas in the T179V-PSII a more red chlorophyll is damaged, the identity of which is discussed. Thus, Chl(D1) appears to be one of the primary damage site in recombination-mediated photoinhibition. Finally, changes in the absorption of Chl(D1) very likely contribute to the well-known electrochromic shifts observed at similar to 430 nm during the S-state cycle. %G English %2 https://hal.science/hal-02174908/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-02174908/file/S0005272818306583.pdf %L hal-02174908 %U https://hal.science/hal-02174908 %~ CEA %~ CNRS %~ L2C %~ DSV %~ CEA-UPSAY %~ I2BC %~ UNIV-PARIS-SACLAY %~ CEA-UPSAY-SACLAY %~ MIPS %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ JOLIOT %~ CEA-DRF %~ SB2SM %~ I2BC-SACLAY %~ TEST-HALCNRS %~ GS-ENGINEERING %~ GS-BIOSPHERA %~ GS-HEALTH-DRUG-SCIENCES %~ INSTITUT-SCIENCES-LUMIERE %~ ELSEVIER %~ UM-2015-2021
